Chapter 306, Lightning Seal

Translator: Silavin

 

The reason Qin Yichen chose this Martial Arts Cultivation Technique was naturally because he recognised the power of the Lightning God Fist Barrage. As for the cultivation requirements, after devouring the Lightning Lion Martial Soul, his Yuan Energy could also transform into the Lightning Attribute. With his powerful Physique tempered from Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones, there were probably few at his level who could compare to him. At least, within this Grand Empire, there should not be an expert of the same level who could match against his Physique.

 

“Martial King Realm? If I breakthrough to the Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm, I should be able to cultivate this.” Qin Yichen muttered, his gaze scanning the surroundings before leaping onto a giant tree, concealing himself among the dense branches.

 

Originally after leaving the Extreme Flame Zone, his cultivation had reached Peak Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm. He was just one step away from breaking through to the Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm. During the Martial Arts Tournament, after several battles, Qin Yichen also sensed that the bottleneck to breaking through to the Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm loosening.

 

Taking two Yuan Healing Pills, Qin Yichen sat cross-legged. With the operation of his Spirit Body Technique, he quickly restored his body to peak condition.

 

Qin Yichen took out several scorching Flame Orbs and began attempting to break through to the Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm.

 

This state continued for about half an hour. With a tremor of his body, a feeling of comfort surged from the depths of his heart. At this moment, the extremely rich Yuan Energy in the world continuously poured into Qin Yichen’s body.

 

Breaking through to Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm was as natural as water flowing into a channel.

 

After another half hour, the Yuan Energy within Qin Yichen’s body finally seemed to reach a saturated state. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. As his eyes opened, a flash of brilliance passed through them.

 

“Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm!” Qin Yichen clenched his fist, feeling the Yuan Energy within his body had become several times more powerful. A confident smile tugged at his lips. At his current cultivation level, if he faced Chen Qiqiang again, he was confident he could defeat him with absolute strength within three moves!

 

After feeling the strength of his internal Yuan Energy for a while, Qin Yichen closed his eyes again and began comprehending the Lightning God Fist Barrage.

 

Before performing the Lightning God Fist Barrage, one must condense a Lightning Seal within the body. This Lightning Seal was something that even Lightning Attribute Martial Artists feared. Therefore, Qin Yichen dared not be careless. Only after reading through the method in his mind several times did he begin practicing.

 

Qin Yichen sat cross-legged with his hands on his legs, palms facing upward. As his fingers moved, a rather unique seal appeared between his palms.

 

Within this seal, strands of the Power of Lightning, like small snakes, continuously wound through it.

 

*Crack!* However, before this seal could fully condense, a faint sound emerged and the Yuan Energy mixed with the Power of Lightning shattered.

 

Qin Yichen was not particularly concerned about his first failure. If the Lightning Seal was so easy to condense, that would have been surprising.

 

Slightly composing himself, Qin Yichen began moving his hands again, starting all over.

 

As time passed, Qin Yichen seemed tirelessly condensing the Lightning Seal again and again. His hand seals went from clumsy at first to gradually becoming skilled, and the speed and solidity of condensing the Lightning Seal also became increasingly swift and substantial.

 

As his hands formed the seal, a Lightning Seal with lightning arcs dancing became increasingly clear. Qin Yichen’s gaze was fixed intently on the nearly-formed Lightning Seal, his mind also becoming tense at this moment. Previously, he had failed many times at this step.

 

As Qin Yichen’s fingers changed again, a thread of Yuan Energy flowed into the Lightning Seal.

 

*Ciii…*

 

The Lightning Seal with flickering electric arcs suddenly trembled, emitting a crackling sound. Then, the lighting began to contract, finally transforming into a seal flickering with lightning that slowly imprinted itself in Qin Yichen’s palm.

 

When this Lightning Seal lay in Qin Yichen’s palm, his body suddenly tensed. What came next was the most important and dangerous step in cultivating the Lightning God Fist Barrage!

 

To cultivate the Lightning Seal, one must use physical strength to withstand the seal’s backlash before being able to cultivate the Lightning Seal within the body, and thereby release the Lightning God Fist Barrage.

 

Being able to form the Lightning Seal in just over an hour was due to his great Spiritual Energy Control, being far superior to most. However, there were no shortcuts for the next step.

 

Now, just one careless moment could severely injure him, even rupture his meridians!

 

Furthermore, in this tower, Qin Yichen knew that if he failed, withdrawal would be his only option.

 

“If I don’t cultivate it, when I meet Li Aofeng, I’ll have to withdraw anyway. I just have to do it!” Qin Yichen gritted his teeth and clenched his palm.

 

A violent wave burst forth from his palm, then rushed madly into his body through the meridians in his palm. That fierce momentum seemed as if it would destroy not only Qin Yichen’s meridians but his entire body.

 

However, fortunately Qin Yichen was well prepared. He clenched his teeth, his whole body’s muscles tensed, forcibly enduring the pain brought by the Lightning Seal entering his body.

 

From Qin Yichen’s muscle cells, countless tiny the Power of Lightnings, invisible to the naked eye, also emerged. It was the effect of his Physique being tempered by absorbing Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones.

 

Facing the Lightning Seal’s violent impact, those countless tiny Power of Lightnings also surged forth to help to resist.

 

*Hum hum…* Tiny humming sounds echoed within Qin Yichen’s body. He did not dare relax in the slightest.

 

Enduring this immense pain left Qin Yichen in agony. Bean-sized sweat drops continuously rolled down his cheeks. On his forehead, blue veins bulged like earthworms, making his handsome face appear somewhat fierce.

 

The Lightning Seal’s backlash continued. Qin Yichen did not dare use his Yuan Energy to resist. The terror of the Lightning Seal lay in this – using Yuan Energy would only cause the Lightning Seal to explode, wasting all previous efforts.

 

This backlash continued for a full quarter hour. The intense pain nearly made Qin Yichen faint several times. Perhaps for those enduring the Lightning Seal’s backlash, fainting would be a kind of release…

 

It was fortunate that Qin Yichen’s willpower far exceeded normal people. It had allowing him to grit his teeth and persist.

 

When he sensed the Lightning Seal’s backlash had completely disappeared, Qin Yichen’s tense body immediately went limp. Sweat had already soaked his clothes, and he was continuously panting heavily.

 

Still, although his body was extremely fatigued, there was still an unusually bright gleam in Qin Yichen’s eyes. He raised his trembling arm. On the back of his right hand, there was a silver mark that made one’s scalp tingle. After a moment, this mark completely merged into the back of his hand.
